About
My home arcade is Chinatown Fair, but my true heart's arcade is the one in Port Authority, NYC that doesn't exist anymore. I'm a no bar player who's learning to use speed mods. I like nasty chaos charts, crossovers, encouraging fellow players, and adding spins where they don't belong.If we're close to a jubeat machine, I'll probably try to get you to play it (especially if you've never tried it before). I have carpal tunnel and bad joints, so the answer to "How do I play rhythm games" is "Carefully, after warming up."My first song was Super Star. My favorite songs are Synchronized Love (Red Monster Mix) and Elemental Creation. My favorite composers are dj TAKA and Nekomata Master. My current goals are passing Possession EXT (jubeat) and breaking into Silver I (LIFE4DDR).It's my goal to play DDR in every state in the US. I keep a blog about the experience, which you can find here.
PROJECT SEKAI
I've fallen deeply into Project Sekai hell since it came out in English, and I'm fairly active in the tiering community. My favorite characters are Kaito, Tsukasa, and Toya. I'm a mod of RAD, the premier akitoya discord server.Previously I've gotten 8th in Period of Nocturne, 7th in A Song of Vows for You, Dressed in Pure White, and 4th in The Gentleman Thief's Thrilling White Day. I tend to tier white day events and then go back to filling; my next planned t10 attempt is Never Give Up Cooking in Feb-Mar 2024.To help new players, I created a huge info doc. I hope you can find it useful.If you'd like to join RAD, shoot me a DM.

DM for discordRe: twitter, I may not follow back and/or unfollow you without warning. Please don't take it personally! I use twitter as stress relief, so I'm strict about keeping my timeline 100% focused on rhythm games. If you talk about other things too, I may not follow. You're welcome to follow and chat with me, even if I don't follow back, and also welcome to unfollow at any time. Thank you for understanding!
